Lovely room, very comfortable, staff were friendly. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was amazing.

Layout of the rooms was slightly odd, took us a while to find our room.

Pleasant bus sleepless

8.0

Convenient in a nice location, staff and facilities good

We were in a room next to the main road and with it being warm needed the window open and was very noisy from the traffic from main road all through the night.

It was excellent, would go there again. But avoid the music being played on the Sunday evening ...

8.0

The ambience of the extremely old Inn was superb. As for the Indian meal on the Sunday evening, just excellent!

The people playing music for fun on the Sunday evening in the bar, mainly sea-shanties and such music; a recorder, accordions, flutes and more. People having a good time with their friends, probably do that most weekends. Good for them. But it was just awful. Two hours of a screeching noise, most of the songs just the same and it was a "head in hands" moment when they started the next one. Earplugs required for the other guests might be a good idea...
